Side impact test

  

Side impact test
This is similar to accidents where the car is hit by another on the side. The impact takes place at 50 kph (30 mph) when a trolley with a deformable front is towed into the driver’s side of the car to simulate a side-on crash (see Figure 1.28c).

 EuroNCAP have a number of tests,include:

  • vehicle tested is given a star rating for its protection
  • Pedestrian impact test
  • Pole test
  • Side impact test
  • Front impact test
